Answer 1

Multipurpose projects have not lived up to their expectations due to following reasons:

Even though multipurpose projects are built with certain objectives in mind but there are certain limitations

Firstly regulating and damming of rivers affect their natural flow causing poor sedimentation i.e poor sediment flow.

Excessive sedimentation at the bottom of reservoir results to rockier stream beds .

Poorer habitats of aquatic life.

Restricts migration of dishes for spawning

Displacement of lot of people (especially from the poorer sections of society) with no satisfactory compensation.

The existing fields get submerged and starts to decay releasing a huge amount of methane which is responsible for global warming.
